Abstract:
A camera fixed by suction to a transparent member and configured to capture an image through the transparent member includes: a planar portion having an opening; an auxiliary member attached to a surface of the planar portion and including a hole formed therein, the hole communicating with the opening of the planar portion, the auxiliary member having a plate shape and being brought into contact with the transparent member; and a suction portion causing the auxiliary member to be attached by suction to the transparent member by forming a negative pressure in the opening of the planar portion, in which the auxiliary member is softer than a material of the planar portion.
